The actress, who's been courageously documenting each stage of her breast cancer battle on social media, underwent her first radiation treatment last month, and candidly revealed that she found the process "frightening."

"Something about not being able to see the laser, see the treatment and having this machine moving around you just scares me. I'm sure I'll get used to it but right now.... I hate it," she wrote in an Instagram caption.

In her acceptance speech, Doherty revealed that cancer had made her aware of the love in her life. "Cancer has changed my life for the better," she said. "It's made me a better human being."

"It exposes who's not really truly there for you and who really is there for you," she continued. "It's this brilliant thing where you just look around and think, 'Oh my God, this person is amazing. They're showing up for me in a way I never expected'.”
